Electronic Voting Machines

How can people have confidence in these things at all? It has been proven that they can be hacked without a trace, they do not log votes reliably and they are already causing problems in the primaries. Questionable results in the New Hampshire primary led Dennis Kucinich to request a hand recount, which is now under way. By now we should all be familiar with the controversy regarding the questionable results of the 2004 Presidential election which had a lot to do with electronic voting machines, among other things. And yet, we as a society really have done nothing over the last 4 years to correct the problem. Many people I'm sure have simply decided that it's too much work, and that no matter what they do they cannot make a difference. That mindset of course benefits nobody but those in power and those in control of the voting machines, and in essence it is not true anyway. This is a nationwide issue and if people nationwide had stood up and demanded a verifiable, transparent voting process (can you believe that we, the greatest "democracy" in the world, would even need to consider such action?) it could have been achieved by now. Instead though, we face another election that will be wrought with controversy, almost no matter who wins in the end. And no matter who wins, We The People suffer yet another huge loss, this one to our confidence in the integrity of the voting system.
